Managing your friends
Friends in your friends list are sorted by their online status — active chats, online,
busy, and offline. Within the status groupings, friends are listed alphabetically.
By default, only the friends that you frequently communicate with — the most
popular — are in the Friends list. If you want to display all your friends, press MENU
and then tap All friends.
